| - Haberdish has been on the bucket list for a LONG time but he stars have never alligned for a meal there. We finally made it in for a late Saturday lunch when we had some guests in town. First impression was I love the openness of it and the covered patio on the side. The walls are made of brick and beautiful wide tables. We started with the bacon jam biscuits and hushpuppies. Both are great "southern" Foods and they know how to do them right. The bacon jam is more of a marinade, with nice crunchy chunks of bacon over the fluffy biscuits. The hush puppies are served with a sweet tea butter, which looks like tuna fish but tastes amazing and soft.
Both appetizers were enjoyed by our group. The menu is very small, which is my only complaint. I'm not sure if the dinner menu is bigger, but it's basically fried chicken, fried cauliflower steaks and a bunch of side options. So, obviously this place doesn't attract those who don't love fried chicken.
The fried chicken is very good. You can order tenders (2.50 each) or half chicken. Sides include Mac n cheese, kale salad, biscuits, and a few other options. We tried the Kale salad and Mac n cheese. I also have the cauliflower steak a try, which is "chicken fried" with plenty of fried batter. It was okay, not my favorite but I was curious about it and wanted to give it a try.
They have an amazing and extensive cocktail list, with various creative and craft choices. I went with the seasonal doc porters vodka base with watermelon juice. Delicious! We all loved the cocktails we tried. I'd love to come back for dinner or brunch but love the whole atmosphere.
